Love-inspired Yarn, Week #1

Welcome to the Month of Love!

Each weekday I’ll be posting 1 yarn inspired by a famous pairing, from now until February 14th and each Wednesday I’ll be giving a little roundup of the last week’s love-y yarn.
But I need some help! Suggest a couple you can win 50% off your next skein of BCB yarn, by commenting right here!

This week I explored some ideas I’ve had rattling around for a while, like PB + J:

I knew that I wanted to have this skein of yarn knit into an actual representation of PB&J, so I started with white piece of bread (undyed wool), spun a slather of peanut butter and then really laid on the jelly and finished it off with another slice of bread. When knit up (I’m picturing a plain hat or a garter stitch scarf), you’ll have one BIG PB &J sandwich, with mostly jelly, just the way my Jay likes it!

Another long-pondered yarn is Cheech+Chong:

Various shades of recycled green wool with a splash of sparkle, swirl around a green thread of hemp. Really, I think that description says it all, since this is a family site, I’ll let you make the jokes!

As a French major, I felt I needed to honor Louis XIV (always pronounced Quatorze by moi) & Marie in a fun yarn:

Inspired by the candy-coated opulence of the French court (as depicted in the recent movie), this yarn is a colorful mix of brilliant pink, sky blue,chocolate brown with a single shot of aqua green. I was first inspired to think of the couple in THESE colors, by Cloudlover’s beautiful colorway. Thick & thin (to represent the couples ups and downs) Louis & Marie is supersoft and luxuriously squishy.

And that’s it for this Month of Love round-up, there were 2 more  (Barack + Michelle, Surf+Turf) but those have sold, so I shan’t tempt you with them!

What do you think of these yarns? Do you have alternate colors I could have used for them?

Have an idea for a future “Month Of Love” pairing? Suggest it in the comments!
